Answer 2

Evening Primrose Oil is perfectly natural and very safe. There are millions of women world-wide that take it to help balance out their hormones. Zinc from capsules shouldn't be toxic... if it were, it couldn't be sold on the market. That being said, most vegetables will have small amounts of Zinc in them, but you can find a very extensive list at http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/cc/zinc...

Your best bet if you are pregnant would be to discuss with your Gynecologist if Zinc would help you and if Evening Primrose Oil would be a good option for you, or if it might push your hormone balance too far in the wrong way. What I mean is that any time you adjust your hormones naturally or otherwise, your body can respond in odd ways, including acne. In general, none of the things you've mentioned have any problems with pregnancy as long as you take them in the appropriate doses.
